Anyways… yeah so the crowd, especially the dudes, were really willin’ on the I-attend-Harvard -ish…I wasn't feeling that at all. But the party itself was cool. I did get my free drink, but by the time I got it they were only serving wine, which was kind of a bummer, but whatever, it was free.
The music was slammin’! They didn’t shout out the DJ or else I would give him mad props. He was REALLY good and people were really trying to dance. Now…the air conditioning…ummm...was non-existent. That was a serious issue that needed to be fixed pronto - people were not cute sweating out their perm and press. Not a good look.

The venue, as loungey as it was, was waaaaay too small. People were not only sweaty but falling on top and over one another, which had this not been a Harvard crowd, could have caused some serious issues. (i.e. some chick gets hit with a bottle).
Sooooo for S.U.E.D.E.'s premier event, I'd say they did a really good job. They got people to come out, the ratio was good and for the most part people had a good time. But if they want their crowd to be more than just another Harvard party, they’re gonna need to step up their game to ensure that the venue is appropriate and all of their patrons have a good time, not just their friends.
I give this party a B -

The Red Fez (1222 Washington Street, South End) is T accessible on the Silver Line, and there is plenty of parking both in the back and on the street. By 7:30 p.m. the place was packed! The décor is hard to miss, with really great high ceilings, rich exposed brick arched walls and metal lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There is even an open patio, which will be great for summer time. Most people were hovered around the bar, but it got super crowded so we decided to grab a table towards the back to get some food.

We each got apps, that set us back only $9, though an entree will run you around $22. It’s a Mediterranean restaurant so the menu had an eclectic mix of hummus, tabbouleh salad and other things I couldn’t pronounce :) Still, when the food came we were very pleased. I had a zucchini pancake with yogurt sauce, Michelle had the scallops and Melissa had the shrimp, which they both recommend.
Our waitress was extremely gracious, apologizing for the wait and making sure we knew what was going on with our food all the while laughing at our “company’s” jokes. I got you Mr. Aaron!

Everyone was very friendly and on the network grind, going from table to table to pass out business cards. I was having such a good time that I when I looked at my watch I was suprised to see it was a quarter to 10 - and several people were still having drinks and socializing.

I sincerely enjoyed myself and would come back to another Marvin and Harold event...plus I luv The Red Fez.
Another great event - See you next month guys!

The Girls Night Out section was on the other half of the bar; we just wandered over there, the organizers were busy ordering food and drink for themselves. Still, they offered a tasty treat with chocolate fountains with marshmallows along with strawberries and pound cake pieces on skewers. Yum!

We moved over to the bar area to take a seat on these very stylish but extremely uncomfortable bar stools to order some drinks...BUT there was no bartender. We waited for the waitress to place our order, which took forever, even though there weren’t a lot of people there. The drinks were okay... I ordered a dirty apple martini; it was refreshing but pretty much tasted like an apple martini without the marichino cherry.
The crowd was mostly over 40 so clearly this was not our scene.

After we finished our drink, we decided to move onto the next.
Fab! Recommendation: Vinalia is a decent place for a cocktail, but I would not go to another Girls Night Out there - it was kind of a waste.

After his set the party started to pick up and me and my girls moved into the other room where fortunately the music had changed up. As I started to feel the rhythm I starte to get this strange feeling that something just wasn’t right – perhaps it was the swish swish of weave on my bare back or when Usher’s “I wanna make love in this club” came on I was surrounded by metallic skirts and waving manicured hands with no dude in sight– yes, my friends the ratio was waaaay off kilter - like 12 to 1 – no lie- I felt like I was in a friggin’ R&B music video watin' for somebody to make it rain. To make matters worse the dance floor was so tight you could barely move, let alone dance, so I got to perfect my two-step (lol).
DJ Select did play a better set as opposed to the techno and latin laden FLAUNT, but he still played a couple songs more than once and at one point the music stopped all together for a solid minute…now that may not seem like much time, but when you got a 1:40 a.m. cut off, every second counts.
I can’t lie though, of the brotha’s that were in there – all 15 of them – they were lookin’ good, and the women dag man!!! – I gotta step my game up ‘cuz they were seriously showing out…J. Francois and Mr. K.Pritty def’ bring the sexy ladies so fella’s last night you coulda had your pick.
(Promoters J. Francois, Sammy and K. Pritty)
I must say, I am proud that they consistently keep their events classy with no drama (at least in public) :) and at the end of the night I felt ushered out rather than hurded which was also a good look.
All in all it was a good production – ‘cuz at this point they can no longer be classified as just parties – they definitely got people to come out but…the male to female ratio put made it a chick fest - couple that with a serious lack of space - puts this party at a B+.
Keepin' it fab all day every day!
*Side note: A HUGE congrats/best wishes ;) to J. Francois!! Black love is oh-so-fabulous!
We showed up early enough that entrance to the party was free, although the flyer advertised that it was $10. The promoter, Edgar was also supposed to be passing out free shots, but with all the running around he was doing that never materialized. Did I mention that I hate false advertising?!
There was a pretty decent young crowd (the average age was around 22) though they might as well be called Harvard Friday’s as ninety percent of the patrons were Harvard affiliated. The vibe was very chill, almost too chill. I felt kind of awkward...almost like I was at a cocktail party and should of brought a date. Everyone seemed to know one another and if they didn’t they weren’t really open to meeting anyone new. Still, this was the first time in a long time that I showed up to any place in jeans, a cardigan with my glasses on and still had a decent time dancing and socializing. Big ups to the “Men with Jobs” who got our drinks for the night. One time for Cordell!!
DJ Eight-Two did his thing and played mostly reggae. The unfortunate thing is that he has the tendency to cut songs off right as they were getting good (boo!). To sum it up, there was a lot of standing around and drinking, and not very much dancing.
I would recommend this place as a Friday night alternative when you just want to come as you are and have a drink with friends – though you might need to bring your own.
Stay Fab! :)






Even though it’s on a Wednesday, it looks like the ballers will still have a pretty big turn out. I know I’ll be there! There will be free drink specials and part of the proceeds go to charity. This is an RSVP only event. It's okay to get there early... the reception starts at 9:30 p.m.
Tickets are $20
